is that your age Owt_Ytrof?

"esrb is worthless because the (stupid) parents still buy the games for their kids (that the kids shouldn't play).

It actually serves the purpose of shifting responsibility from game developers to parents. If a kid has an M-rated game, it's not the fault of the developer, it's someone in retail or the kid's dad buying him games."

I couldn't have put it better myself. Any media rating system is only as good as the people who listen to it.

i want Nights on the wii ITS A GREAT GAME

"As much as I like cucumbers with plungers on their heads.... No.... "

Cucumbers have heads?

Cool. I've never played Ecco. Can't wait to get my hands on that virtual console.

As much as I like cucumbers with plungers on their heads.... No....

Not the most interesting stuff, but it at least reveals some more games coming for the Wii. And more support is great, even if it's VeggieTales.

aye good news, the virtual console details on actual initially released games are a bit thin on the ground, it looks like Sega have backed up the VC with some nice games, i know i'll be downloading Golden axe on launch day thats for sure. The Wii is looking to offer any type of gamer exactly what they want :-), which is important in gaming, catering for the differnt needs of an expanding market, even the niche.

esrb making mistakes for rating a game? thats worse than i thought

These are probably just Virtual Console games....

Sure the game will suck, but VeggieTales still rock!

Altered Beast and Golden Axe = ownage.

What is VeggieTales anyway?

Excited for the Sega classics, don't give a rat's ass about VeggieTales.

Why would we care about this???? i mean i dont. all im caring about is SEP 14. COME ONNNNNNN

"Pablo620
Wii is headed to the same audience that Gamecube was headed to. I just dont see how casual gamers want a more complicated control system. Casual gamers want super nintendo 2D gaming, not Wiimote gaming, and not veggie tales: larryboy and the bad apple"

Dude. 2D = Sega games mentioned in the article.

I gotta agree that there isn't much to be said but still, you contradict about everything you say in your post.

nothing of rel intrest except for the sega games

NO new on Zelda

Anyone who looks at the games listed above, and repeats the nintendo is for kiddies line, is ill informed at best. The Wii already has more third party support than the Gamecube ever had, we will see plenty of mature themed games. And just because Nintendo creates non offensive games with simple and fun controls doesnt make them "kiddie". If you choose your games purely on image alone, maybe you need to ask yourself who is being kiddie. Gameplay is all that matters, and nintendo has always proved that you dont NEED excessive blood, guns, and debauchery to be fun. Thats not to say i dont ever want them to create games geared toward an older audience, as i hope they do. But even if they never did that is what third partys are good at........and like i said third party support is excellent thus far for the Wii, take Ubisoft for example. Needless to say i will be enjoying many types of games for Wii this winter, their lineup is looking awesome. Metroid, Zelda, Madden, Red Steel, Mario Galaxies(if its out by xmas), Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty 3, Sonic, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy Crystal chronicles, Excite Truck, Rayman....all of which look very promising....and thats just the ones i can remember......doesnt look too kiddie to me.

some good vc games. it looks like there's a lot of ignorant people out tonight. you forget this is a very small and quite obvious list on ratings. there's no indication of what the other unofficial titles are. most of the best games don't come right out at launch so get over yourselves.

all the games i know of here suk

blah blah blah i want a price im sick of hearing all this crap

The 14th should be interesting. I hope, just for the sake of some kind of balance, that they come out with some mildly dissapointing news. If it's all rainbows and butterflies, I think I might puke up white spotted red mushrooms.

I admit I used to love Golden Axe and Altered beast... 10 years ago. In an arcade. For a few minutes. Even if this is a remake and not a port I am not too interested. I only hope they don't keep churning out these kind of titles with the occasional mario and zelda. If so, this will be like the gamecube... wait 3-4 years, buy cheap, use briefly, discard.

september is the day that wii will know everything, but lets hope nintendo wont delay any more news.

I hope September 14th is not a let-down.

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg 2 days foos

Sep the 14th , boy oh boy can't wait!!

Sept 14th, we shall know all about the Wii...

ya those are easy game to rate

I want prices and a launch date.

Golden Axe, Toejam and Earl. Niiiice

yay ecco the dolphin! lol that game was surprisingly good

I wonder how the ratings are gonna go for the older games. I'm pretty sure that esrb kidna emerged a lil after the SNES and Genesis Generation....

I heard about that ESRB stuff weeks/months ago with VeggieTales and Ice Age. The VC stuff seems new though. 2 more days!

2 more days...
only 2 more...


are we there yet?

Yes!!! Toe Jam & Earl! Finally! I haven't owned or played that game in years!!

Release date please!

oh cmon... ports??? based on MOVIES??????
dang, i hate games like that...

Golden Axe was the game I was waiting from Sega, now announce the price and date for Wii on thursday, thank you...

The inclusion of Sega games for the VC will make it more appealing. This Wii launch is looking to be the greatest launch in history! I know I will be there the first day to buy it. Let's hope Nintendo launches in October. We shall see soon enough!

I hope that Nintendo is ready for this launch. And i also hope that all the devs aren't rushing their games out too quickly.

Probably the largest thing keeping Nintendo from launching early is software development on launch titles. I'd rather have launch titles finished properly than ultra-rushed and left with bugs.

i wonder if they will just transfer the old ESRB ratings for the Virtual Console games.
